Heading up north and really excited to try my new Bravo again. I sailed it 3 short times and then came back to the city where I have been out on Albacores in Lake Ontario.

I sail on a river so wind direction is hard to figure out: offshore wind on both sides, current, prevailing wind. I would love to fasten a wind indicator. Has anyone tried something as simple as "tell tails" tied to the A frame?

I installed a U-shackle on the mainsheet block "post" - and put a Wichard snap shackle on the top of the tiller. Now I can remove the mainsheets and store them in the compartment below the tiller. That should keep the lines in like-new shape - AND doesn't make it so obvious that the boat is sail-ready.

My next "mod" is going to be installing some sort of pointy gull-deterrent on top of the Hobie Bob - good grief, my daughter and I went to sail and had to give the boat a bath first....... stoopid birds

Although it is an old post, I found it useful and did the same modification today. Thanks!

In lieu of the snap shackle and regular shackle, just use a quick release pin instead of the machine screw and nylock nut.
